Safety system
ISOFIX anchorage and top-tether
anchorage (ISOFIX anchorages
system) for children
The ISOFIX system holds a Child
Restraint System during driving and in
an accident. This system is designed to
make installation of the Child Restraint
System easier and reduce the possibility
of improperly installing your Child
Restraint System.
The ISOFIX system uses anchors in the
vehicle and attachments on the Child
Restraint System. The ISOFIX system
eliminates the need to use seat belts to
secure the Child Restraint System to the
rear seats.
ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars built
into the vehicle. There are two lower
anchors for each ISOFIX seating position
that will accommodate a Child Restraint
System with lower attachments.
To use the ISOFIX system in your
vehicle, you must have a Child Restraint
System with ISOFIX attachments. (An
ISOFIX Child Restraint System may only
be installed if it has vehicle-specific or
universal approval in accordance with
the requirements of ECE-R44 or ECE-
R129.)
The Child Restraint System manufacturer
will provide you with instructions on how
to use the Child Restraint System with its
attachments for the ISOFIX anchorages.

WARNING
Do not attempt to install a Child
Restraint System using ISOFIX
anchorages in the rear centre

anchorages provided for this seat.
Using the outboard seat anchorages,
for the CRS installation on the rear
centre seating position, can damage
the anchorages.

(Child Restraint Systems with universal
approval according to ECE-R44 or ECE-
R129 need to be fixed additionally with a
top-tether connected to the back side of
the rear seats.)
